I would like to add a comment for OO developers.
If a feature 'just works right' in MS Office, then you better make sure the
exact same feature 'just works right' for a new user trying to switch from MS
Office to Open Office.
Another way of putting this was expressed by Joel, of Joel on Software:
Something is usable if it behaves exactly as expected.

Now, it is a fact that most Open Office end users are already familiar with an
MS Office user interface. So, when they try out Open Office, they will first try
to perform a given task using their knowledge from MS Office. When Open Office
diverges from the well known MS Office user interface, users will be frustrated
because Open Office didn't behave as expected.
The .tsv problem is a good example. The feature 'just works right' in MS Office,
and it does not 'just work right' in Open Office...yet.
